  1. No, if it is done by a dealer it will be a factory "approved" program. If it is done by a 3rd party - you are on your own (warranty wise).
  2. Re-program the DME. Either with a factory program or a 3rd party program.
  3. From what you describe it sounds like the MAF is a good place to start. Search here to find the cheaper Bosch part online - and make sure you order for the right model and year (since they changed).
  4. Since it is only one cylinder it is likely the spark plug, ignition coil (on that plug), cable to the plug, or a bad injector.
  5. It is my understanding that the driver was going approximately 150-165 MPH down the front straight of the track when a Ferrari pulled out from the pits and into his driving path. He swerved to avoid a collision with the Ferrari and lost control of the CGT and then slammed into a wall. It has been confirmed that the driver of the CGT was RennTech.org contributing member ben, lj (Bejamin Miles Keaton). Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ben's family... we have lost a great Porsche enthusiast and member... this is a very sad day. RIP Ben
  6. Fold up the cap, unscrew the hexagon nut, lift and detach the spring washer and wiper arm.
  7. The Porsche TSB that describes how to install the GT Rear Side Skirts says the kit has templates for drilling and mounting the side skirts with the screws. No epoxy.
  8. There is a TSB for MY97 - MY00 Boxsters that states a P1128 and P1130 codes are potentially caused by an air leak in the oil filler hose. P1128 by itself is usually a faulty oil filler cap seal.
  9. Any dealer should be able to pull up service and recall records by the car's VIN. There was a problem on earlier cars that might be still occurring. Difficulty filling the fuel tank can occur if the flexible fuel hoses in the fuel tank obstruct the inner flap of the fuel filler neck. This was caused by hoses that were not tie-wrapped down and they would work their way up and cause the pressure problem. On a MY99 Boxster E6 should be a 7.5 A fuse for Terminal 30 Telephone/Handy Prep CU Navigation Orvr -- Options M614 / M618 M664. This fuse is the same for all model year Boxster's I looked at (through MY01).
  10. As I read the TSB there are two steps. One is shortening the antenna wire 100 mm. The other is removing the insulation on the last 130 mm of the wire.
  11. Has this always been a problem? There is a TSB for a Fuel Tank Hose Modification (dated 8-12-99) where: 1. Difficulty filling the fuel tank can occur if the flexible fuel hoses in the fuel tank obstruct the inner flap of the fuel filler neck. 2. Incorrect fuel gauge readings can also be caused by the flexible fuel hoses in the fuel tank, should they interfere with the travel of the fuel sending unit arm and/or float. Has this mod been done to your car?
  12. It appears to be very similar to the 996 system. The exception is that the control signal is taken from the DME rather that the speedometer. The install TSB does not say for sure but it would appear that the mufflers are very similar to the 996 PSE and default to always open.
  13. 2. The sway bars mount the same for RoW M030... and in some models are the same as US M030. If they change all you change are the mounting bushings and the sway bar.
  14. We have a place for posting mod pics - please use the "Garage".
  15. If the owners have the original documentation there should be an option list with many number codes. If they do not have it Porsche should be able tell you what options the car shipped with from the VIN - for a fee. RoW stands for "rest of the world". Porsche broke their major build categories into two groups (in the late 70's or early 80's as I recall). There are cars built for the US and Canada that have certain emissions, lighting, ride height specifications, etc. And, then their are RoW cars which have a different set of specifications. Also, some models were not sold in the US/Canada.
  16. Porsche's recommended wheels spacers are 5 mm front and 17 mm rear (max).
  17. That looks great jinijazz. How about a before and after pic? :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:
  18. It's a 6mm hex wrench. Most of these on the Carrera are 5 and 6 mm.
  19. If you like a product - please feel free to add it and review it in the Reviews section.
  20. A factory slant nose for RoW cars should be option 506 (US cars was 505). See if the original option codes include option 506.
  21. Check your rear sway bar. It is fairly common for a mount to come loose.
  22. Ok, I think it is 900 219 007 02 screw plug M10 x 1 about $2.31 retail.
